High creatinine levels can cause kidney failure, here’s how to control it

A waste product that is created chemically by the body’s muscles is called creatinine. The majority of creatinine found in the body is a naturally occurring substance. It travels through the blood from the muscles to the kidneys, where it is removed by the kidneys’ urine. Increased creatinine levels in the blood suggest that the kidneys are unable to remove toxins because of renal disease. According to Dockters, if the kidneys aren’t working properly, the creatinine level in the blood might rise. Here are some ways to lower your creatinine levels.

Avoid alcohol

Alcohol has a negative impact on digestion, which leads to the production of more waste. Additionally, it promotes the body to produce creatinine. Overconsumption of alcohol can lead to high blood pressure, which is a major contributor to kidney problems.

Reduce protein intake

According to research, eating a lot of protein might temporarily raise your creatinine levels. Cooked red meat, in particular, affects creatinine levels.

Eat more fiber

The impact of dietary fiber on creatinine levels requires more research. Nonetheless, one study found that increasing the intake of fiber significantly reduced creatinine levels in adults with chronic kidney disease.

Avoid cold and harsh climate

If the patient lives in a cold environment, shivering may cause a rise in creatinine levels. To protect themselves against the rise in creatinine, the patient must avoid cold polar temperatures.
